English translation of the principle

Expression of intention. It exists as soon as it issues from its maker. When it takes effect: upon coming to the knowledge of the person to whom it is addressed. - The principal's illness, even if severe. It is not legally a cause for termination of the agency. The exemption from the agent's submission of an account of the agency's activities continues to have effect by presumption of continuity of the existing state. An incidental, temporary loss of capacity by one party to the contract. The agency does not terminate thereby. What matters is permanent loss whereby legal positions become settled. Assessment thereof is a matter of fact.
Arabic original
التعبير عن الإرادة. قيامه بمجرد صدوره عن صاحبه . متى يحدث أثره: باتصاله بعلم من وجه إليه. - مرض الموكل وإن اشتد. لا يُعد سبباً لانتهاء الوكالة قانوناً. استمرار أثر الإعفاء من تقديم الوكيل حساب عن أعمال الوكالة استصحاباً للحال. فقد أحد طرفي العقد لأهليته فقداً عارضاً مؤقتاً. لا تنتهي به الوكالة. العبرة بالفقد الدائم الذي تستقر به المراكز القانونية. تقدير ذلك موضوعي.
